Ultra-Portable Performance Synth Loaded with Workstation Tools!

Battery-powered and weighing less than 28 pounds, the Korg Kross music workstation is the epitome of portable -- for full-size keyboards, anyway. If you're a live performer or gigging musician you will especially like the mobility that the 88-key Kross affords, since you can take it from place to place without breaking your back. Its powerful EDS-i sound engine delivers hundreds of convincing, easy-to-use instrument presets, drum samples, and effects, making the Kross keyboard the kind of performance synth you can just turn on and play without having to do any major tweaking or sound design work. It's also loaded with tools like a built-in step sequencer derived from the Korg Electribe, 16-track MIDI sequencer, drum track, and arpeggiator that will transform your performance on stage and in the studio.

EDS-i Sound Engine Provides Lots of Sonic Variety

Some keyboards offer a thousand instrument sounds, and some offer a hundred. With 421 multisamples (plus 890 drum samples), the Kross sports a happy medium. You get essentials like grand pianos, electric pianos, strings, organ, and synth sounds, as well as some more exotic fare, such as vintage tape sampler, toy piano, and accordion sounds. The Kross 88 also comes loaded with must-have dance and electronica sounds that are hard to find in this price range. No matter what kind of music you play, the Kross has a sound (or ten) to back it up. You can use the Sound Selector to find the sounds you want, and use the favorites function to organize them for your next performance.

Freakishly Good FX

The Kross's EDS-i sound engine allows you to use seven effects simultaneously (five insert effects plus two master effects), giving you plenty of creative control over your sounds. Essential effects such as delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, and rotary speaker are included, as are some unexpected extras, like amp modeling, vocoder voice, and more. Korg's Kross workstation includes no fewer than 134 high-quality effects.

MIDI Sequencing and Audio Recording Capabilities

Need to capture a guitar melody, vocals, or a quick idea for a song? No problem -- do it directly on the Kross with the keyboard's built-in stereo audio recorder with mic and line inputs. You can connect instruments or other audio sources and record straight to SD card media, and then incorporate your new audio with the sounds already available on the Kross. And of course, there's a 16-track MIDI sequencer as well.

Feels Like the Kind of Keyboard You Want to Play

A full bed of 88 natural weighted hammer action keys helps the Kross feel more like a piano than a portable keyboard, despite the Kross's super-light, 27-pound build. Play comfortably. When it's time to pack up and go, carry it comfortably, too.

Power Up Anywhere, Anytime

Great for mobile musicians, the Korg Kross can be powered either by the included AC adapter or 6 AA batteries. That means the instrument is at home in any location -- even a park bench with no electrical outlets in sight.

Keyboard:- 88-key- NH (Natural Weighted Hammer Action) keyboard reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano, with a heavier feel in the low register and a lighter feel in the upper register- Velocity sensitive is supported; after touch is not supported- Standard A0 - C8 (transposable in the range [A-1...C7]-[A1...C9])

Korg KROSS 88 Mobile Workstation

The Korg Kross 88 Mobile Workstation Keyboard is the performance synth, reimagined. At just under 30 lbs, the Kross offers portability, super-easy sound selection, and a huge helping of no-compromise sounds you've come to expect from Korg with tons of performance features. A clean, attractive layout makes Kross a perfect synth for everyone -- from keyboardists, to guitarists, to producers looking for that no-hassle creation tool -- all at an extremely attractive price point.

The Korg Kross Music Workstation is designed with flexibility, portability, great sound, and value in mind. This powerhouse workstation is highly portable, and can be powered either by the included AC adapter or 6 AA batteries. The high-quality EDS-i sound engine is distilled from the EDS/EDS-X sound engines found on Korg's most advanced instruments.

For fast beat production, Kross features an analog-style step sequencer similar to our popular Electribe series and other famous drum machines. This is part of Kross's full-fledged 16-track sequencer, with powerful onboard editing and effects. There's even a built-in stereo audio recorder with mic and line inputs. Despite being packed with functionality, this 88-key keyboard is lightweight -- making traveling from gig to gig just that much easier. It's a distinctive standard in music workstations, with specs and style that set it apart from all others.

"Korg Kross"

Overall:
Love this keyboard! Great sounds and features. Perfect weighted action. Still having a little difficulty balancing the splits, but patience and time will ultimately prevail I'm sure. As good as it sounds, my favorite feature is that it weighs but 26 pounds as opposed to my previous keyboard which weighed about 60 pounds.
